We review Port of Morrow

After four years and a turnover of band members it comes as no surprise to find  veteran indie band The Shins sound has substantially altered on new album Port of Morrow. Gone is the experimental nature of their last record, replaced with tunes aimed firmly at the airwaves.

Tracks such as Simple Songand Bait and Switch rejoice in their pop nature, with simple uplifting instrumentals coupled with a crisp, clear vocal.
